The high capacity 5:5 Horizon is the flagship of the Sands sprayer range. As with the 4000 litre machine it is fitted with an all new Panoramic cab. Designed and built in conjunction with Dieteg in Germany this cab features the latest Category 4 filtration. Comfort, visibility, build quality and ergonomics are to the highest standard and the impressive low noise levels take operator wellbeing to the next stage.

Powered by the latest Deutz Tier 4 Final turbocharged engine rated at 180 kW (242hp) the 5:5 boasts a high power to weight ratio offering excellent performance even in the most arduous conditions.

Driving Dynadrive wheel motors with full dynamic disc brakes on all wheels the 5.5 complies with all legal road regulations. The ‘SmartDrive’ also automatically changes wheel motor displacements as forward speed is increased. This system can be further advanced with Traction Control if required.

Fitted in the cab is both a foot brake and accelerator which can be used on the road for smooth and safe operation up to the machines maximum speed. The cab also features a tactile membrane keypad for all control functions. As with all Horizon & Vision machines numerous options are available – see the options page for more details.

The 5:5 is an obvious sized machine to take a larger than 24m boom and Sands offer both steel and aluminium variants. The factory built steel booms now feature hydraulic anti-yaw and can spray at 12, 24 and the widest boom width. They can also be fitted with the latest Hypro ‘DuoReact’ nozzle bodies for the fitment of fertiliser dribble bars. The aluminium option is from Pommier and reduces weight by over 500kg. This can be advantageous in extremely hilly or very wet conditions where the lowest overall weight is required together with improved hill climbing.
